El Apagón Lyrics in English Malú , Melendi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Apagón by Malú from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
It's you
That one who said that he had his whole life for me
It's you, it's you
That one who came promising springs in winter
That wasn't me, it was you
Chorus 1
And without your light, and without your light
There's no more love, there's no more pain
And without your light, the blackout
How many times did we live something magical?
How many times did we talk on the phone?
How many times did you keep me between yes and no?
How many times, how many times?
How many times did we dance at dawn?
How many times? If we almost watched ourselves grow up
How many times? And now I'm left with yesterday
How many times, how many times?
It's you
That one who said that she saved what was real for me
It's you, it's you
That one who came with promises and with stories
Of which I'm left only with laments
And without your light, and without your light
There's no more love, there's no more pain
And without your light, the blackout
How many times did we live something magical?
How many times did we talk on the phone?
How many times did you keep me between yes and no?
How many times, how many times?
How many times did we dance at dawn?
How many times? If we almost watched ourselves grow up
How many times? And now I'm left with yesterday
How many times, how many times?
Chorus 2
How many times did we live something magical?
How many times did we talk on the phone?
How many times did you keep me between yes and no?
How many times, how many times?
How many times did we dance at dawn?
How many times? If we almost watched ourselves grow up
How many times? And now I'm left with yesterday
How many times?

SONG MEANING

Picture two ex–lovers standing in the dark after the power has gone out. That sudden blackout is El Apagón, the moment when every sweet promise of “spring in winter” is exposed as wishful thinking. Malú and Melendi trade lines like sparks, recalling how many times they laughed, danced until sunrise and whispered on the phone, only to realize that the light keeping their romance alive was already flickering.

The chorus, "Sin tu luz, el apagón," flips heartbreak on its head: once the dazzling glow of the relationship vanishes, so do the illusions and the pain. The song is a bittersweet tally of memories—counting magical nights, half–answered calls and near–missed dreams—set against the liberating calm that follows when the lights go off. In short, it is a catchy lesson in letting go: sometimes a blackout is exactly what you need to see things clearly.
